The Last Day Of the State
Fair Was the Greatest
in History.
1t Was a Day When the Labor
ing Man and the Vet
eran We're Out.
4 Magnificent Sham Battle
Seen by More Than
$4,000 People.
How the Crowd Behaved It
Sslf--The Fair Closed and
Managers Happy.

The smoke of battle hung low over
uamline plain last night, and the smell
of burning powder was on every breeze
as the sun climbed down the western
sky. But the plain was bloodleSs, and
the powder burned had driven no bullets
through human flesh. SO when the sun
had slid below the horizon there was
nothing except the ringing in the ears
of many thousand men and women and
children to remind them of the war-like
scene. a great sham battle. had been
fought, and 10 blood had been spilled
even by accident. 1t was the
last day of the Fair, and it
seeme as if the populace of the state
had waited for this, the greatest event
of all the eight days, and then rushed
through the turnStileS. 1t was the
laboring mans day, and there were
thousands of workingmen and their
families who came,0ut for holiday. 1t
was the methcd the Workingmen of the
Twin Cities took of celebrating
THEIR LABOR PICNIC,
having failed to observe the day set
apart by laboring men all over the
country earlier IN September. 1t was
also veterans day, and the old soldiers,
who had come from all over the North
west. were all on hand, not only to see
the Fair, but lured by the chance of
once again smelling gun powder and
hearing the booming cannon and rat
tling musketry. 1t was also Saturday,
when many who could not, during all
Il cIF &
holiday. Added to this the day was per-
feet. and under the fine weather the
crowd was naturally increaSed. All
these things c0nspired 10 bring together
more people than were ever gathered
together on the Fair grounds, and some
said that never i'll Minnesota had there
been so many people to WitiIeSS any
single event. All WHO were connected
with the Fair smiled their br0adt st smile
and when they had seen the great crowd
safely in and out of the grounds, their
cup OF happiness was full.
1t is hard to say Just how many people
saw the sham battle. President Mer-
riam said there were 100000: others said
more. some said less. From the turn
stiles and carriage entrance records
there were not far from IL, 600 within the
fair grounds fence and OH the slightly
points outside. conservative estimates
agree that there were not less than 25,-
$50 who were successful in getting
within sight OF the field where the mock
battle was raging. No accidents hap
pened i'll the handling of the crowd at
the grounds, and when last nights stars
began to twinkle, they were not more
bright than the faces of the managers.
The last day was the greatest not only
of this Fair but of all Fairs ever seen in
the STATE

The Reward of Elegant Taste.

Though not occupying very conspic-
uous space in the main building, the St.
Paul Carpet company had what the
judges, the people and everybody else
considered the most elegant, most taste
full display of fabrics on the grounds
indeed, superior to anything oi the kind
ever shown in the Northwest. Yester-
day three of the judges passed through,
looked in upon Mr.. Scott and told him
plainly that he had the finest display,
complimented him in terms that would
make any mans heart glad, and pre-
sented the blue ribbon with an air that
said, ''rhis is the most we can do; wOnld
that we.could do more!" But Mr.. Scott
is modest man and accepted the honors
gracefully as well as humbly and CRATE
fully. ALI last week it was common
remark among passers-by that 1.-The more
you looked the more you Saw-n0t like
those displays which show such loud,
vulgar colors." The subdued richness of
everything here contrasted mostpleas-
antly with the loud colors" referred to.

Game in Abundance.

Now that the great sham battle is
over the warfare has commenced on
ducks, geese, pheasants, snipe, etc,
which must be in great abundance, if
we are to judge from the number of
sportsmen purchasing guns and hunt
ers' outfits at the extensive gun and
sporting goods house of Kennedy Bros,
66 East Third street.
The immense and elegant stock car
ried by this house cannot be surpassed
anywhere in the United States.

All six horses from the preceding day
came to the score, but it was evident
after the first quarter that, barring acci-
dent, Gossip would win the heat, and he
did this handily, too, although he had to
cut down the record considerably, the
time being 2:14&. Mike Wilkes was
second, Jewett third, Joe l. fourth, Roy
fifth and Ed Amman sixth. There was a
change of positions in the succeeding
heat, which fell to Wilkes, Gossip hay-

to his credit, and Jewett with one heat.
were the only contestants for the sixth
heat, the other three horses having been
sent to the stables for not winning a
heat. Wilkes had the pole, but a poor
send off was given him, Gossip, Jr.,
being at least two lengths to the good
on the outside when the judges gave the
word. Rounding the turn Gossip, Jr.,
assumed the lead and was never Overs
taken, although the driver of Wilkes
made desperate effort in the stretch,
but could not get beyond the fayorlte' 8
